Basically, this role was for an experienced candidate who would help out with M&A transaction activities. I had applied for this role online. The recruiter had e-mailed to set up a date and time for an initial call. She (the recruiter) was about 15 minutes late and she did not apologize for the delay which I found to be downright unprofessional. In any event, we chatted for about an hour going over my experiences and background. I had asked some general questions about the role, much of which she was not able to answer in a satisfactory manner. For example, I was very curious to know that --- despite a whole lot of M&A deals --- why the TRMB stock has not moved nor has the company grown despite all these M&A buyouts. I suppose they didn't want someone asking the tough questions. I also found it to be very peculiar and strange when she said that the company's CEO, CFO, etc. were all based in their Colorado office yet their corporate HQ is in Sunnyvale, CA. Then she stated she would be circling back with the hiring manager and she would get back to me by the following week. Despite several attempts to get feedback, I did not receive any response. Ghosting candidates is never cool. It makes a company look very unprofessional and third-class. Just imagine: if this is how they treat candidates on the outside, one can only surmise how toxic it must be for employees on the inside! Today's candidates are tomorrow's leaders and bad experiences will not bode well. Fortunately, I am in the process of accepting a Senior Director role at a large-cap tech and one of my mandates will be to scout for deals and ventures. I will be sure to keep Trimble out of my prospects.
